Thanks.

Now I have a question for General Eyre if that's okay.

I'd like to ask about the impact that McKinsey's work could have on subsequent procurement decisions in the defence department. Given that some of McKinsey's clients also do business with the Department of National Defence in the equipment procurement and IT space, there have been those who have made the allegation that McKinsey's advice could influence subsequent procurement decisions by national defence in a way that would benefit its other clients.

Could you reassure people that would not be the case?
